First Look: Penélope Cruz's new lingerie line for Agent Provocateur

The Oscar-winning actress has designed a lingerie collection with her sister

Penélope Cruz and her sister, Mónica, have designed their debut lingerie line for Agent Provocateur, and we got a first look at the Cruz collection (heh) today.

The Cosmo Verdict? We love it.

The long-awaited sibling-made diffusion line, called L'Agent, is full of with bright and lacy bras and briefs, basques and baby dolls, suspenders and shape wear (all named after Spanish girls, natch).

"The relationship is very family-orientated, Monica modelled for the autumn/winter 2012-13 campaign - and when shooting the campaign she mentioned their interest in creating a line," says Agent Provocateur creative director Sarah Shotton. "After that initial chat, two weeks later we were in full conversation and started designing the collection. They are really involved and really part of the family."

The Spanish actresses are no strangers to the fabulous world of fashion, having posed and designed for Mango, as well as creating a handbag collection for Loew

To coincide with the launch, Penélope Cruz has made her directorial debut with a funny short film. She of course cast her (heavily pregnant) sister Monica, husband Javier Bardem, Spanish actor Miguel Angel and Russian model Irina Shayk.

"Penelope mentioned that she wanted to direct the film from day one. We all wanted the collection to appeal to lots of women of all shapes and sizes so she incorporated that into the campaign," said Shotton. "The film was mainly Penelope's baby which I think really reflects in the final edit."
